The Performance Last Night

The audience which assembled at the
Opera House last evening to hear the
National Opera Company in "Lakme,"
was the finest ever witnessed In this city.
Many of the gentlemen were in full even =.
ing dress, and some OF the ladies appear
ed without hats or bonnets. The house
was full, and with the exception Of few
chairs near the orchestra, every seat was
taken, while large number of general
admission tickets were sold, the holders
OF which occupied standing room during
the entire performance. Three rows Of
chairs had been removed from the front
OF the parquet to make room for the or.
chestra, and even with this additional
space they were somewhat crowded. At
precisely o'clock, the leader took his
position In the centre OF the large orches
ira, and as he raised his baton there
came volume of music from the many
Instruments, such as was never heard In
this city before. At the close OF the over.
ture the curtain was raised and disclosed
scene OF dazzling beauty introducing the
first act of the opera. The music was
vivid and enhancing, while the bell song,
as given by Mile L'Allemand (Lakme) }
was the gem Of the evening. The bale,
was grand and gorgeous, and seemed
more like dream Of fairyland than a
stage picture. The scenery throughout
was beautiful, but the jungle scene, with
the waterfall in the distance, in the last
act, was as realistic as 1t is possible for
anything of that kind to be produced.
The effects of the scenery and costumes
were greatly increased by the aid of pow
ferful calcicum lights. The entire per-
formance was grand success, and the
performers, from the principals down to
the chorus, sang and acted their parts
In the most excellent manner. The re-
ceipts, which amounted TO So .420,were en-,
tirely satisfactory to the managers, and II
is probable that the company will again
visit this city next season.
